Shedding Light on the Shadow DOM

A componentised web is the future, but at the moment our tools are broken. We all start new CSS projects with the best of intentions but I’ve not come into a large scale project yet that hasn’t already got huge legacy issues. It is my belief that Web Components will be our saviour as they enable us to write encapsulated CSS which is infinitely scalable. In this talk I’m going to go through some awesome techniques for styling our components in a modular way using the shadow dom. It’s time to walk in the light.

CSSConf Budapest welcomes everybody. Please, be excellent to each other, and read our Code of Conduct so that we are on the same page on what excellent means.

Since the prototype, CSSConf US, was started by Nicole Sullivan in 2013, the CSSConf family has expanded around the globe. CSSConf US in New York and CSSConf EU in Berlin are going into their third year. CSSConf Australia in Melbourne, CSSConf Asia in Singapore, and CSSConf Oakland debuted in 2014. In 2016, two new members will join the family of events: CSSConf Nordic, and yours truly, CSSConf Budapest. All CSSConf event organizer teams share the vision of an international, diverse and creative CSS community, for which the CSSConf series offers a platform to meet, hack, share knowledge and build friendships.
